Skills
Summary
Lucky, semi-retired consultant on a personal mission to help good people get more of what they want. To do this, I’m most useful in persuasive communications. I co-founded Performance Works to solve problems that matter for CEOs and CMOs – problems where the right solution, well executed, creates competitive advantage. Our approach uses the voice of stakeholders – and a little magic – to improve strategic, sales, and team performance. My commitment (or obsession) about matching differentiation with customer needs developed during executive roles in well-known enterprises and startups in hardware, software, SaaS delivery, and Big Data. Comments from past clients, with more at www.PerWorks.com/Proof: "Performance Works completed our project six quarters ago. And we’ve now had six record quarters in a row after several years of flat revenue." CEO, Enterprise Hardware Vendor "I've been in our space for 12 years and never have I felt as good and strongly that we hit the positioning on the head." CEO, Enterprise Software Provider Specialties: Voice of the Customer, Voice of the Stakeholder, Strategic Planning, Product Marketing, Sales and Multi-Channel Sales Support, Vertical Market Selection, Executive Communications, Executive Coaching, Analyst and Press Relations, Field and Channel Communications, Marketing Communications, Company Environments from Start-up to F500, Internet and Shrink-wrap Product Delivery, Big Data
